[@redsquirrel4084]

“They’re not weedy. They’re just generous.” I’ve watched your bulb log for years and always enjoy your beautiful flowers and nuggets of wisdom. Thank you for sharing your garden and knowledge!

Than you for watching - I like 'generous'.

[@TomLWaters]

Thanks Ian. Now that you are a KZbin sensation, I hope that you will still remember all the little people who watched loyally through your humble beginnings.

[@ianyoung4014]

Always Tom I think the 10k was a blip and don't expect it again so I am very grateful to you and my regular followers.

your garden has come alive, beautiful display

[@lindamurns1245]

Good morning! So.... everyone has theyre own "compost " might you tell me your cocktail please. I see alot of twigs and leaves. Is there something else you tend to use? Thanks again always love the videos! Definitely some of my favorites

[@ianyoung4014]

Hello Linda thanks for your comments. I follow a natural process so everything in the garden is recycled into 'compost' . Wood cuttings, hedge trimmings etc are shredded and depending on the time of year either placed in a compost heap or piled on the bed to be spread out as a mulch. Similarly the autumn leaf fall is also returned to the soil.

Хэлоу! Любуюсь вашим садом! Спасибо!

[@ianyoung4014]

Thank you.

[@beckyscheller9358]

I enjoyed seeing your garden and all the bulbs. But was getting a little dizzy with the speed of the video 😂 and would have liked a closer view of some of them

[@ianyoung4014]

Thanks for watching and I accept your criticism. Speed of movement is exaggerated by the video I will make more effort to try and slow down.

You have such an amazing garden. I'm very jealous of your beautiful collection of spring bulbs. You are extremely knowledgeable so I need to ask, do you know what the smallest daffodil species or cultivar is? Google keeps telling me it's tete a tete but I think that might be false. I want to find a very small daffodil species with grass-like leaves that can grow naturalised in a lawn. Any knowledge you could share would be incredibly helpful!

[@ianyoung4014]

Thank you for watching and your kind comments. The best small species for grass is Narcissus bulbocodium which best matches your request.

[@ShakyWheel66469]

I'm planning a spring bulb meadow for next year so this is much appreciated! Thanks legend!@@ianyoung4014

[@bluebowser3347]

You have a beautiful garden! I don't suppose you know what the Hepatica is called? Like a species or cultivar name?

[@ianyoung4014]

Thanks for watching they are all unnamed seedlings from Hepatica nobilis.

[@bluebowser3347]

@@ianyoung4014 Thank you!!

[@bethmartof1262]

Do you mulch or use any fertilizer? 😊

[@ianyoung4014]

Very rarely if a plant looks hungry I give it some fertiliser. We mostly rely on nature's mulch of leaf fall and mulches of our own garden compost .

[@ianyoung4014]

It certainly has John but there is still plenty more to come.....

[@pharmkid02]

What is the ph of your soil? I tried to grow some of your flowers but it doesn’t thrive due to my 7.2 ph soil😢

[@ianyoung4014]

Our ph is 5 to 5.5 but many of these plants are not to fussy about ph.

[@pharmkid02]

Can you please recommend some unusual bulbs (exclude hyacinths , tulips, daffodils) that I can plant.

[@ianyoung4014]

You could try the ones I mention in the text describing the video @@pharmkid02

Здравствуйте Ian ! Я с вами очень давно и очень люблю весенний сад. Он прекрасен ! Вы столько труда вложили в него.Я стараюсь покупать новые сорта всех ваших растений . Мне очень нравятся триллиумы,но у нас их почти нет на Украине. Я очень рада,что у вас появилось много новых друзей. Это Ютуб делает рекламу. Здоровья вам и вашей жене. У вас очень рано проснулся сад. Все мои такие растения ещё не цветут. ❤❤❤❤🤗👋🌼💮

[@ianyoung4014]

@@NinaBrusnik Many thanks for your continued support Nina. It is so nice to be able to share our gar4dn in this way so that others may also see the pleasure we get from it. I send greeting to you and all my friends in Ukraine with hope for peace.
